In this episode, Kimi and Lou sit down with Annicka Ekvall, a Swedish-American DJ and producer making major waves in the minimal melodic house scene. Closely associated with Insomniac, Annicka has performed on the world's biggest stages, including EDC, Coachella and Burning Man. She joins us to discuss the magic of staying grounded while playing for thousands and why her newest role, being a mom to a baby girl is her greatest blessing and inspiration.

Key Highlights:

  • The Power of Presence: Why being grounded on stage is the secret to creating a truly transformative experience for a crowd.
  • Connection Over Impression: Shifting the focus from playing a set to connecting with the soul of the audience.
  • Storytelling in Music: How Annicka uses house, soul, and funk vibrations to tell a narrative of love and inspiration.
